        "summary": "Succession problems Succession within institutions or enterprises, private or public, are not always as smooth as one would hope. Take, for example, the problems of state-owned railway company (PT KAI) and Garuda Indonesian Airways (PT Garuda) in replacing departing directors. The recent government appointments of PT KAI directors were rejected by the railway workers' union. One month or so has passed and efforts to resolve the situation are continuing.",
        "content": "<p>Succession problems<\/p>\n<p>Succession within institutions or enterprises, private or<br>\npublic, are not always as smooth as one would hope. Take, for<br>\nexample, the problems of state-owned railway company (PT KAI) and<br>\nGaruda Indonesian Airways (PT Garuda) in replacing departing<br>\ndirectors.<\/p>\n<p>The recent government appointments of PT KAI directors were<br>\nrejected by the railway workers' union. One month or so has<br>\npassed and efforts to resolve the situation are continuing. This<br>\nreflects a serious breach in the relationship, both horizontally<br>\nand vertically, between the involved organizational levels. This<br>\nin turn may cause inconveniences, affecting services to potential<br>\nrailway passengers, and furthermore it will jeopardize the spirit<br>\nand the morale of PT KAI workers.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming this management \"accident\" was not intentional, there<br>\ncertainly is an acceptable and satisfying solution for the<br>\n\"conflicting\" parties. The solution requires retrospection and an<br>\ninordinate amount of time. We have to refrain from injustice and<br>\ninjudicious decisions. Integrity from all parties involved is<br>\nrequired, and we have to integrate all positive forces within the<br>\ninstitution on an intellectual and ingenious basis, without too<br>\nmany interferences from outsiders.<\/p>\n<p>A harmonious interaction has to be built anew, avoiding<br>\ninelegance and keeping in mind the behavior, norms and the<br>\npursued culture of the railway workers, at every level of the<br>\norganization.<\/p>\n<p>To obtain greater vision in problem solving let us have a look<br>\nat the game of golf. Lobbying is known to occur while playing<br>\ngolf. The game itself is an exercise in patience and thoughtful<br>\ndecision making, both needed in problem solving. Hazards or<br>\nbarriers ought to be avoided and overcome: bunkers, water and<br>\nout-of-bound areas.<\/p>\n<p>Experienced players can play the ball so it does not plunge<br>\ninto the pond or roll out of bounds. It is assumed experienced<br>\nexecutives know how to play golf and know the rules of the game.<br>\nThey ought to consider handling problems as they do in the game<br>\nof golf. This is to achieve favorable scores, holes in one, best<br>\nnet, best gross, or whatever. Be healthy and wise, solve problems<br>\nthe golf way!<\/p>\n<p>SOEKARTONO<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
